Museums-in-motion

Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times

Tourists queue up in long lines to ride San Francisco's famous cable cars without realizing they can jump aboard another fun form of transportation: a historic trolley. The city's streetcars, nicknamed museums-in-motion, are vintage trolleys imported from around the world. Along with the cable cars, they form a steel triangle of tourist-friendly rails that deliver riders to Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, Chinatown, Coit Tower and other famous locales. Fare: $2 adults, 75 cents for youth and seniors. Info: http://www.streetcar.org/museums-in-motion.
